   Have you ever:

   Spent a couple of minutes, typing a well thought out answer to a post that relates to a field that you at least has some knowledge in - but suddenly you realized that you do not actually care?

     @selea for me, it's usually thinking about how the conversation is heading. If I feel like I'm going to be misunderstood, or there's a bit of miscommunication/bad faith going on, yeah I don't press that send button. Why start that useless chain of events?

     It's an optimisation thingy. Helps to avoid a lot of wasted time, energy and upsetting interactions at times.

     "If I feel like I'm going to be misunderstood, or there's a bit of miscommunication/bad faith going on,"

     Yes exactly this, it is just not worth the time being missunderstood because it is over text and english is not my primary language :P
